Intensive Hospital Program

[sheree71]

Hi. I'm looking at undertaking an intensive trauma/dissociative program next year in a psyche hospital. Has anyone been in such a program? I'm looking for any feedback. Did it help or not? I'm a little apprehensive about the whole thing.

I did a six week program years ago which was extremely resourceful knowledge wise, taught me some methods in which to manage PTSD, taught me to expand my thinking in order to keep my mind active, etc etc. Some are a waste of space, some are good... really roll the dice and see how you go.

I agree with Anthony, though I have no experience of inpatient PTSD programs. But I say give it a go, see how it feels as you are doing it. What's the worst that could happen? If I was offered a treatment program like this, I'd take it... I think it's important to try anything that may help. You're bound to be apprehensive though, that's normal... just keep an open mind. You never know, it could be just what you need, or may help you along the way.....!
